Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Strategist

Digital Marketing ManagerChampion is one of the country's leading restaurant and franchise marketing agencies, and our digital practice is where brand strategy turns into measurable traffic through the door. We're looking for a Digital Marketing Manager to own consumer-facing digital media for a portfolio of multi-unit restaurant and retail brands and create the campaigns that drive guests into restaurants, orders into the app, and members into the loyalty program. This is a hands-on, build-it-yourself seat. You will personally run the accounts: structuring campaigns, writing the media plan, pacing the budget, pulling the numbers, and telling the story behind them. You'll manage 6–8 brands across paid media and CRM, working alongside Champion PR, influencer, and social teams. Champion is a best-in-class, fully integrated marketing agency powered by a team of nearly 50 professionals who are experts in their respective fields and driven by a common purpose – to be an indispensable partner to our clients. We recognize that every brand is unique, requiring thoughtfully crafted programs designed to achieve both short- and long-term goals. Our clients know they will never get a "one size fits all" approach from their Champion team. You'll work on brands people actually recognize and on campaigns where the results show up in a restaurant's sales the same week. Our digital practice is growing and new digital tools are being unlocked regularly. If you want to own accounts, go deep technically, and see your work move a business, this is that seat.Champion is an equal opportunity employer.
